:-) In the UK, the term "prosumer" is the official term for an electrical system which produces to and consumes power from the supply.

(In the past it was widely taken to mean "a customer who wants to buy very high-quality technical products or equipment", https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/prosumer https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/prosumer )
